EXOLIT OP 1400

HIGHLY STABLE PHOSPHINATE-BASED FLAME RETARDANT FOR POLYAMIDES
  • Product Type: Non-Halogenated
  • Master Product Number: MITM02898
  • Product SKUs: ITM01960, ITM21401

Product Details

Exolit OP 1400  is a non-halogenated flame retardant based on organic phosphinates for reinforced polyamide 6, polyamide 66 and high temperature polyamides. The product achieves its flame retardant effect through a combined gas phase and condensed phase mode of action. Exolit OP 1400 is based on a new chemical substance which is currently being registered in various national and regional chemical inventories.

Benefits

  • Suited for applications in hot and humid environments
  • Outstanding thermal stability - widest processing window within Exolit OP product range for polyamides
  • UL 94 V-0 rating down to 0.4 mm thickness
  • The flame retardant polyamide compounds exhibt very good physical and excellent electrical properties
  • Low material density
  • Good colorability
  • Good contrast in laser marking
  • Non-halogenated flame retardants with favourable environmental and health profile
  • Shows a high-potential for mechanical recycling while maintaining the flame retardancy and other properties when recycled back into production streams multiple times

Formulation

  • Recommened levels for Exolit OP 1400 for glass-filled PA6 and loading levels are 18-25% dependent on the glass content and the UL “V” target
  • For unfilled PA6, Exolit OP 1230 is recommened at 10-15%, variables depending
V-0 Examples
Glass-Filled
  • OP 1400 @ 18-20% with glass content at 35% in 1.5mm
  • OP 1400 @ 20-25% with glass content at 15% in 1.5mm
Unfilled
  • OP 1230 @ 10-15% in unfilled 1.5mm

Typical Applications

Exolit OP 1400 was developed especially for use in polyamides. It is suited for polyamide 6 and 66 as well as polyphthalamides and other high temperature polyamides, e.g. PA 46, for both glass-fiber-reinforced and unreinforced grades. The flame retarded polyamide compounds exhibit very good physical and electrical properties. Flame retarded polyamides with Exolit OP 1400 are suitable for applications also in hot and humid environment.
